Very odd since the line numbers do not match the current release-2.1 and this is the line in question I believe...
call_user_func_array(array('\\MatthiasMullie\Minify\\Minify', '__construct'), func_get_args());

This is very interesting...  I run PHP 8.2 in production, and have js/css minimization enabled, and do not get this error.

Note that this was in fact deprecated in 8.2.  This probably belongs on the bug reports board.  A fix is definitely needed.

Related issue & thread up on GitHub:
https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF/issues/8244

In the meanwhile, if the errors are a problem, you may need to go back to PHP 8.1.

FYI, this is not a bug report.  It should probably be in the support board.

My CPU results before & after blocking "facebook.com/externalhit":
You cannot view this attachment.

Yes, there are still kinda random issues with thumbnails on FB when links are posted.  Lots look OK, lots show an erroneous 403 error.  The links do work, so I have instructed users to just remove the thumbnails whenever they look like that.

Two different board links on Facebook, both boards with guest permissions.  I often get nice little image thumbnails, but not at all today:

If anybody ever figures out the proper way to allow thumbnail generation & block the crawler, please share.

Quote from: Dave J on Today at 08:02:35 AMOnly one issue with a member accessing the site from his mobile phone, but that's all.

Yes, as mentinonned in my post above:  what would happen (break) :O) , so a 403 happened to 2 members of my forum, phone\android, periodically. Apart from that, with such a massive number of htaccess entries it was miraculously error-free.

So, in that megalist there may be 1 line or so that should not be there. Good luck finding out which one :O) :O)

As from now, I give up and let those damn bots do whatever they want (host does not seem to care, speed is always good), only following up with some periodical htaccess entries when particular things seems to go overboard.

Am guessing with AI, taking over the world & humnanity, those scrapers will increase endlessly and innondate everything until the end of times.
